Claudia Peina is quite the creative, innovative fetish carver. Her recent series of standing bears known as Good News Bears is a perfect example of her originality. Learn more…
Claudia makes these small figurines in a variety of poses and ‘attitudes’. Good News Bears carvings each bring joy to the beholder and are created with skill and dexterity rarely seen among carvers. The current poses are :
- Standing – quizzical (head up and hands down) aka “Bus Stop”, with or without inlay
- Standing – fat tummy (head up and hands close)
- Walking – smiling
- Soccer – singing or smiling
- Happy – smiling
- Singing
- Hugging – smiling
- Dancing – singing or smiling
- Circus – singing
- Opera – singing
- Ice Skater – singing or smiling
